Thrill and fear of heights seekers might get in a short time through the safe via ferrata to the summit of Beslers at 1,679 meters above sea level. It was recently renovated and offers unique emotions and indescribable landscapes by limestone walls of the nature park. However, a nice alternative without climbing is available.
Once on top of Beslers, we go through a limestone plateau with many ridges and grooves. There are growing interesting plants such as monkshood. Use caution because the Eisenhut is considered the most poisonous plant in Europe
